Context: Following a two-year ethical study and community consultation project, R'lyeh City Medical Research and Wellness Therapy Centre launched the Future Anatomies Programme in 2086. While officially this was just a new phase of research development for the Centre, it was seen by many as an attempt to address public outcry over its controversial Wellness Therapy services, also known as "DNA for Dollars" and "Para with a Price Tag" which allowed wealthy private patients access to a range of treatments to enhance their abilities or extend their life span using lab engineered para-human DNA / blood transfusions / cellular material. The Future Anatomies Programme, by contrast, used cutting edge research and innovative medical techniques, to better explore better fusion between human and para-human, create new gens of para-human and expand lifespan and well being for all. It offered heavily subsidised payment programmes for those most in need - however, this scheme was only partly successful in that patients still needed to be able to cover their own substantial travel costs to R'lyeh City via the Transport Hub in the Indian Ocean.
